The Super Bowl 50 Host Committee has had a change of plans and won't ask the city to remove Muni wires during its Super Bowl City party after all.

The SFMTA's board of directors has approved a permanent program allowing tech shuttle buses to drop off and pick up passengers at Muni stops.

A big Super Bowl City party has the potential to disrupt transit downtown, and no one—from SFMTA to the Super Bowl 50 Host Committee—has solid answers on what the specific plans are.

Residents and merchants will have a chance to weigh in on the two plans, designed to increase walkability, at two major meetings this week.

Work crews are out today, but not for the Haight infrastructure project. Public Works is replacing some lateral sewer lines, as residents were complaining of back-ups. The work should take 2-3 days.

The Powell Street Safety and Sidewalk Improvement Pilot was unveiled today, closing Powell between Geary and Ellis streets (the 100-200 blocks) to most traffic for 18 months.

The San Francisco County Transportation Agency wants Geary commuters' input on a $30 million plan to redesign the corridor, which will include the demolition of two pedestrian bridges in Japantown.

Construction on the sewer system below Bryant Street between Eight and Ninth won't let up until early next year.

From now through 2018, Powell will get a new ceiling, LED lighting, new flooring and seating on the platforms, fixes for its perennially problematic elevator and escalators, and other improvements.

It's taken a year and a half, but the new crosswalk, complete with bulbouts, is finally on its way.

You can soon get to the Exploratorium by land and sea, thanks to the new landing that was part of the museum's lease obligation to the Port.

As a pilot project, Powell Street between Geary and Ellis streets will be closed to most traffic, except commercial vehicles, for at least 18 months starting this Friday.

A power outage reported by Cole Valley and Corona Heights locals affected 500+ residents last night, according to PG&E's outage map.
